Ginger: A Natural Remedy for Motion Sickness

WHY SHOULD ONE AVOID GINGER IF ONE HAS GALBLADDER PROBLEMS

I love ginger. I love it in cooking. I have had to deal with nausea and motion sickness forever and ginger really helps. Dramamine and other drugs just made me feel ill. Ginger also helps when my stomach just feel a bit 'off' so to speak. i love to make fresh ginger tea - chop up about 2 inches fresh ginger and simmer in a few cups of water for 10 minutes. I think the important thing is to get real ginger. I found some natural ginger mints called Meltzer's pure mints, that I absolutely love - they really help my nausea. They are the best all natural ginger mints and use real ginger extract - I think that's why they work so well for me. I highly recommend them. Some of the other ginger mints I have tried did not use much ginger, if any I don't think and I havent gotten the same results from them. Oh yes - try a bit of honey in the ginger tea. Phenomenal. Add some soda water and make your own ginger ale with real fresh ginger.

Following chemotherapy there is a time where I could actually "taste" anything, as though my palate was burned, not to mention the nausea, etc. However during those times, Verner's Gingerale is my dear friend. I only wish I could find ginger ale without all the high fructose corn syrup (at a reasonable price)!!!!

A word of caution to anyone taking medication for depression(such as prozac or zoloft), ginger supplements can lessen its effectiveness.

I really need help with a problem with my dog. He has a really
bad case of worms and i have tried the over the counter remedies
and they have not worked. Does anyone have a safe natural way to
get rid of them?

i use freshly grated ginger to sooth IBS and or tummy bloat - it
works like a charm.i grate approx 1 and 1/2 to 2 inches of
ginger.

I heard about using ginger to fight nausea on the show
Mythbusters and decided to try it for motion sickness. I bought
some ginger Altoids and ate one before we went out on the water and
another while on the boat. The water was choppy which would
normally make me very sea sick. I think the ginger really did help
prevent nausea and was able to enjoy the boat ride without focusing
on not vomiting.

Quite often a young pup will be nervous and have car sickness
when they first start to travel. The kennel where I board the pups
suggested feeding the pups giner snaps before travel. I only have
to give them the ginger snaps a couple of times, and they relax and
get over it. I could not believe something so simple would work,
but it does. They also love the ginger snaps.

My favorite Ginger recipe is for Gingered Key Limeade. I have a
key lime tree which provides me with a bounty of fruit every year
so I tried to think of something beside key lime pie to do with
them.I squeeze the juice out and freeze it till I am in the mood
and then when life gives you key limes you make limeade !1 cup key
lime juiceGrated or Shredded Fresh Peeled Ginger Raw SugarPure
Water I make syrup out of the raw sugar and pure water by simmering
it untill all the sugar is disolved and I use it to sweeten the
limeade.Strain it. Sweeten to taste as some people do not like it
really sweet. The leftover syrup will stay good in the refrigerator
for several days.If you like to munch on ginger eat the leftovers
that is in the pot after you strain it out of the syrup or put it
in a stir fry. For those unfortunate enough to not have a key lime
tree,This can be made with regular limes or even lemons and fresh
Ginger.

I've benefited personally from using ginger with stomach issues.
If using ginger ale, it's been my experience that some of the
brands (readily available in stores) are better than others. I've
recently tried candied ginger from a health food store and although
it possessed quite a potent taste, it worked amazingly.

Though I have always loved ginger in my cooking and hot
spicey-sweet ginger tea, I have just recently started taking ginger
capsules for two days prior to my arial dance rehearsals. I was
terribly ill the first time without them and with them can fly all
day!Allyson

Ginger indeed is reputed to be a wonder drug and has been for
centuries. In his book "Ginger Common Spice %Wonder Drug", Paul
Schulick delivers a comprehensive and exhaustive commentary on the
why's ,how's and wherefore's of Ginger. Probably the most
definitive source available.Yours for the asking, and no, no
connection to the book other than it's in my personal library. John

I am a breast cancer survivor. I did use conventional treatment,
and chemo-induced nausea was an issue. Ginger-ale calmed my stomach
and helped me tolerate the chemo side effects.Later on, I found out
that ginger was the reason for this.I highly recommend ginger-ale
for chemo patients.
